Also, while on the mound, he yells at his own players if they make what he determines to be a mistake. Right there, in front of everyone, right on the field.

Yeah, no matter what, they are still our team. That will never change. They are who they are. I'll be there the first weekend of June, getting my Kepler bobble-head and cheering them on against the Indians. GO TWINS!!!!!
How many of those teams had ridiculously poor pitching staffs? Two, right? One of which didn't make the playoffs (that team also had a horrible defense)?
Prices almost always are higher at trade deadlines for quality starting pitchers. 'While relievers have been prized leading up to the last two deadline periods, no position provides potential impact like a front-line pitcher.

i wouldnt want to see the prices for midseason trades while contending teams shore up their rotations for playoff push. IMO, its the worse time to buy pitching.
so when our window of contention is supposedly open, we wont sign top notch FA pitching nor trade for one using a supposedly strong farm system. Leaves us one option: our organizational strength: DEVELOPING top notch pitching.
he also pointed out losses over the last three seasons just after saying looking at his last three years cumulative fWAR ranking was ridiculous. Cause its okay to look at combined last three years if the info is supposedly bad, apparently.
